Dusk in Rajasthan (Preeti Verma Lal)

I spent eight days with the Relief Riders and got back home in a rickety bus. I brought home some fragrant wildflowers that I had picked from the mud-spattered roads, I carried the scar that an audacious thorn had etched on my forehead, I gathered the sand from the hem of my skirt and put them in a porcelain urn. And within the sepia pages of The Heart of the Matter, I boldly stuck a handwritten note: One can arrange another person’s happiness, Mr Greene. I saw Alexander Souri do it in Rajasthan. Don’t you wish you had traveled with the Relief Riders, Mr Greene? Come, they will be in Rajasthan in February and in the Himalayas in August. Just make a promise – rearrange your idea of happiness.

Coming up:
Ride through Rajasthan, February 25 – March 10, 2005
Ride around the Himalayas: July 31 – August 15, 2005
